K4 Kiosk — my fog scatter is grainy at 1024 samples

Following along with L11. My volume scatter looks blotchy at 1024 + denoise. Increasing density makes it worse. Anyone hit this — is it the world volume vs. cube method?

Plasticity → Blender export at 0.05 tolerance — bake errors

Tighter tolerance gives me cleaner mesh but my bake breaks on the fillet edges. Going looser fixes the bake but the silhouette suffers.

Best CPU vs GPU split for Cycles in 2026?

Asking the room. Recent shift to a 9950X + 5090 setup — what's the right device split? Anyone benched this for the kiosk scene?

Show your renders — April thread

Drop your finished K4 (or any course final) here. I'll go first — first time using a volume in any project.

BoxCutter — Cstep doesn't update on the fly anymore?

After BoxCutter 7.x my Cstep widget is missing the Q-shortcut. Is this on me or did the addon change?
